PREFACE.

THE present volume is an attempt to present a faithful
rendering in English of the Hours of Prime, Terce,
Sext, None, and Compline, according to the Use of the
English Chureh of Sarum, together with such of " the
Eules called the Pie " as apply to our present Kalendar.
The work has been undertaken, not merely in the spirit
of the antiquary, but mainly with a practical view.
In our present Prayer-Book the old Sarum services of
Mattins, Lauds, and Evensong are retained in a modi
fied form : the present English Liturgy is the crippled
child of the venerable Liturgy of Sarum, in its own
day " f amosissimse ac inter occiduas nominatissimse
ecclesise " ; the Kalendar is a somewhat expurgated ver
sion of that of Sarum ; while the preface in well-known
words claims for the whole book continuity with the
past, and showers not unpointed anathemas 011 those
who at any time have made their " vain attempts and
impetuous assaults " upon the little which the book yet
retains of the worshipful past, whether in ceremonial
or in substance ; seeing that they have " always dis
covered a greater regard to their own private fancies
and interests, than to that duty they owe to the
publick."

PREFACE.

Those who retain any reverence for the utterances
of that Church to which they owe a filial obedience, or
have any the least appreciation of what is fit according
to the ancient order of the Church Catholick, cannot
but feel that in completing their daily round of wor
ship with the five Services of the Breviary which are
scarcely or not at all represented in the Book of Com
mon Prayer, those Services should be drawn from the
source to which the Prayer-Book throughout directs
attention, and from which the public services of the
present day take their origin.

One or two more or less mutilated translations of the
English Breviary have already appeared: the present
work aims at a faithful and fearless rendering of the
whole Service, as our forefathers in the Faith of Christ
and of His holy Church used the same, without any re
cognition of "private fancies." Where however autho
rity has altered the order of Service, such alteration is
recognised in this translation. Thus the Kalendar of
the Prayer-Book has been followed throughout, and the
Prayer-Book Collects have been added where they differ
from the old ones, besides other minor alterations.
The Appendix contains some services, unrecognised in
the Prayer-Book, for Feasts which are still locally ob
served, ; and it must be allowed that Dedications such
as those of Corpus Christ! and All Souls' Colleges at
Oxford University, or of the Churches of St. Thomas
of Canterbury and others, are sufficient authority for
the restoration, at least locally, of the Feasts connected
with their names, if it be lawful to keep the Feast of

PREFACE.

the Dedication of a church, or the Patronal Feast, at all.
Where Eelics of the Saints have been allowed to remain
undisturbed in shrine or tomb, there seems to be double
reason for honouring their memory ; for they must have
been saints indeed who were able to weather the fury
of the fanatical sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Hence the Hour Services for the Feast of Eelics also find
their place in the Appendix.

The editor's chief aim has been to avoid that modern
Anglican Charybdis of private judgment, to which the
Hagiology1 of the old Service books is often made to
play Scylla : the only case in which he has consciously
varied from the Breviary is that of the Feast of St
Britius, the Antiphons for which hardly accord with
modern notions of propriety.

The rubrics, which are often verbose, and sometimes
refer to parts of the Service which the Prayer-Book has
superseded, have been shortened and paraphrased.

1 It may not be widely known that for the principle at any rate
of Invocation of Saints we are able to quote, among higher autho
rities, the Thirty-nine Articles themselves. Article XXXVI.,
" Of Consecration of Bishops and Ministers," says that the
Ordinal of Edward VI. contains nothing " that of itself is super
stitious or ungodly." And yet the "Oath of the King's Supre
macy," therein directed to be administered to Bishops, Priests,
and Deacons alike, ends with the words, " So help me God, all
Saints, and the holy Evangelist"; i.e. the particular Evangelist
of that Gospel upon which the oath was sworn. It is witness to
the legitimacy of calling upon the Saints for aid in any particular
crisis, and to the power of a particular Saint, by his intercession
with God, to render the same. The Articles therefore deny such
a practice to be either superstitious or ungodly.

viii PREFACE.

In bringing to a close this part of a difficult work,
it would be too much to hope that the aim with which
it was taken in hand has been wholly achieved ; and
there is probably much still to be desired in point of
translation, for which the editor can only ask the
indulgence of those who may use the book.

OF QUIRE SERVICE.

OF STANDING AND KNEELING IN QUIRE. — All shall
id throughout the Service, except during the sing-

ig of a Responsory or Alleluia, when they may sit.
Also it is permitted to sit during the Lections ; and
when the Psalmody is very long it is permitted to every
alternate Clerk to sit.

All shall kneel whenever the Petitions are said at
Hours ; but at Prime and Compline the Petitions
said standing on all days when they are omitted at
the other Hours, save when it is otherwise directed in
the Rubrics.

In Lent the Choir shall kneel at the beginning of
every Hour while saying privately the Lord's Prayer,
the Angelic Salutation, and the Creed, whenever the
service is of the Feria ; at all other times of the year
let them stand. [The " Myrroure of Oure Ladye "
shows that by the beginning of the sixteenth century
Our Father, etc., was always said kneeling ; this was
perhaps the monastic rule.] The Penitential Psalms
and Litany are said kneeling in Lent, unless said in
Procession.

During Eastertide, and from Christmas Eve to the
Octave of Epiphany, let everything be done standing ;
also on all Sundays and Festivals, and within Octaves.

OF QUIEE SERVICE.

OF TURNING AND BOWING TOWARD THE ALTAR. —
The Choir shall stand turned towards the Altar at all
services until the first Antiphon is begun. Whenever
Glory be to the Father is said, they shall stand turned
toward the Altar, and bow towards the same. So also
at the commencement of all Eesponsories, Chapters,
and Collects, and at the end of the last Psalm until the
Responsory or Lection is begun.

At Mattins the Choir shall face the Altar until the
Invitatory and Canticle is finished, at the beginning of
Te Deum and Benedicite, and during the singing of
the last verse of each. Let all bow at " Holy, holy,
holy," etc. : " Since angels praise God with great
reverence, ye bow down yourselves when ye sing their
song " (" Myrroure" Ixxiii.). Also at the words, "When
Thou tookest upon Thee," etc., in veneration of our
Lord's incarnation ; and at " We therefore pray Thee,"
etc., in veneration of " that most rich liquor, the
reverend and holy Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ."

" When a bow is ordered, it should be made not side
ways, obliquely, but straightforward, towards the Altar;
and the person bowing should bow the whole body."

OF THE SIGN OF THE CROSS. — "Ye bless ye with
the sign of the holy Cross, to chase away the fiend
with all his deceits; for, as St. Chrysostom saith,
' Whenever the fiends see this sign of the Cross, they
flee away, dreading it as a staff wherewith they are
beaten withal.' And at this blessing ye begin with
your hand at the head downward, and then to the left
side, and after to the right side, in token and belief our
Lord Jesus Christ came down from the Head — that is,
from the Father unto earth, by His holy Incarnation ;

OF QUIRE SERVICE.

and from the earth unto the left side — that is, hell, by
His bitter Passion ; and from thence unto His Father's
• right side, by His glorious Ascension. And after this
ye bring your hand to your breast, in token that ye are
come to thank Him and praise Him in the inmost of
your heart for His benefits."

OF RULERS OF THE CHOIR. — On all double Feasts
there shall be four Rulers of the Choir ; on Sundays
and Feasts not doubles, two. The Octaves of certain
Feasts also have Rulers, as hereafter noted. Let the
Rulers be habited in silk copes, with caps on their
heads, and in their left hands batons with which to
rule the Choir.

ORGANS shall not sound in Lent except on Sundays
(including the First Evensong on Saturday), Double
Feasts, Evensong on Wednesday in Holy Week, and
at Mass on Maundy Thursday.

OF LIGHTS.— On all Principal and Greater Doubles
eight candles are lighted round about the Altar at all
sung services ; i.e. six on the Altar and two in standards.
On Lesser and Inferior Doubles, on Simples of the first
class, on Advent Sunday and Palm Sunday at both
Evensongs and Mattins, at Evensong on Wednesday
in Holy Week, on Maundy Thursday, and during
Easter and Whitsun weeks, four candles are lighted at
sung services. On all other occasions two candles are
lighted. Candles should be lighted at Compline, but
not at Prime, Terce, Sext, and None.

OF THE PREPARATORY PRAYERS.— Before each ser
vice let there be said secretly, " In the Name," etc., the
Lord's Prayer, the Angelic Salutation, and the Creeds.
At the V. "0 God, make speed" all sign themse;

OF QUIRE SEEVICE.

with the Cross. This F., JR. are in the singular number,
" because we begin our prayers and praises in the per
son of holy Church, which is one, and not many."

OF ANTIPHONS. — The Antiphon should indicate the
tone in which the Psalm or Psalms following are to be
sung; thus the first few words are sung before the
Psalm by the Cantor alone, the whole is repeated by
the Choir at the end. "When the words of an Antiphon
are taken from the beginning of the following Psalm
they are not repeated, but the Psalm is begun from the
point where the Antiphon ended.

An Antiphon is said to be "doubled " when the whole
is sung before as well as after the Psalm. According
to the ancient use of the Church, it appears that no
antiphon except that over Magnificat was ever doubled,
and that only at first Evensong of the greater Feasts,
when all the side altars were censed. And this is the
Sarum rule.

The doubling of antiphons has properly nothing to
do with double Feasts, which seem to have been so
called because on certain very great Feasts, when no
Memorial was allowed, the Offices had to be doubled
— i.e. the Festival and Ferial services said separately
in their entirety ; — whereas on smaller days it was per
mitted to make a memorial of the Feria or Sunday in
the Festival Service. In later times this prolongation
of the service was avoided (a) by dropping the ferial
service altogether, (6) by a memorial, or (c) by trans
ferring the Festival.

OF THE PSALMS. — According to ancient use (repre
sented in the Sarum Breviary), all the Passion Psalms
— viz. Pss. xxii.-xxvi., together with Pss. liv., cxviii.,

OF QUIRE SERVICE.

cxix. 1-16, 17-32 — are sung under one Antiphon on
Sundays at Prime, except between Christmas and the
Octave of Epiphany, between Easter and Trinity,
when any Festival is observed with full service on a
Sunday, or when the Service of Octaves is performed
on Sunday : for at such times Pss. liv. and cxix. are
alone sung. On Sundays between Septuagesima and
Easter Ps. xciii. takes the place of Ps. cxviii. On
weekdays Pss. liv. and cxix. are said.

At Terce, Sext, and None the Psalms are invariable
throughout the year. At Compline Pss. iv., xxxi., xci.,
cxxxiv. are sung under one Antiphon, and Nunc
Dimittis under its own Antiphon ; except from
Maundy Thursday to the first Compline of Low Sun
day, when Ps. xci. is omitted, and Pss. iv., xxxi.,
cxxxiv., and Nunc Dimittis are all sung under one
Antiphon.

N.B. — If for convenience the Psalms at Prime are
said according to the modern Eoman use, one each day
of the week, it would seem better to say Ps. xxiii. in
the place of Ps. liv. on Sundays when the ANT. The
Lord is my Shepherd is said. But neither method
has any authority in the English Church.

TE DEUM according to ancient custom was said at
Mattins on Sundays and Festivals only : except that it
was not said on Sundays or Festivals during Advent ;
nor from Septuagesima to Easter; nor on Feasts of
three Lessons falling on the Eves of Feasts or in
Ember seasons, saving only the Eve of Epiphany
falling on a Sunday, and the Whitsun Embertide.

The Altar and Choir should be incensed at Magnificat
and Benedictus.

OF QUIKE SERVICE.

THE CREED OP ATHANASIUS is said daily at Prime,
except from Maundy Thursday to Low Sunday.

THE CHAPTER ended, let the Choir always respond
Thanks be to God; and the Clerk then begins the
Eesponsory, as is more largely expressed at Terce on
Advent Sunday. On Septuagesima, Sexagesima, and
Quinquagesima Sundays, also during Lent, the mode
of saying the Responsory differed, for which we see
directions at Terce 011 Septuagesima.

OF THE KYRIE. — Thus Cardinal Bona : " Dicunt
Latini in missa Kyrie, eleison Greece ; dicunt etiam
Hehraice Amen, Allelujah, Sabaoth, et Osanna : quia
fortassis sic ab initio ecclesiasticarum precum institu-
tores voces istas usurparunt, ut ostenderent unam esse
ecclesiam, qua ex Hebrais et G-raecis primum, deinde ex
Latinis coadunxta est," etc. (Tom. iii., p. 73).

THE LORD'S PRAYER is always said silently through
out, which finished, the Priest repeats again aloud, V.
Lead us not, etc., and Choir respond, But deliver us,
etc. The Apostles' Creed is recited in a similar manner.

OF THE PENITENTIAL PSALMS. — The fifty-first Psalm
is recited without note at every Service on Ferias
throughout the year, except in Christmas and Easter
tide, when the Petitions are not said. On Ferias in
Lent it is followed by one of the Penitential Psalms at
each service in order, except that at Sext it is followed
by Psalm Ixvii.

The custom of saying Psalm li. seven times daily
arose towards the end of the tenth century, when it
was a common belief that the world would come to an
end in the year 1000 A.D.

OF COLLECTS. — The Collect of the day is always pre-

OF QUIEE SERVICE.

ceded by V. The Lord is with you, E. And ivith thy
spirit, Let us pray, except on Good Friday and Eas
ter Eve. All Collects addressed to the Father conclude,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Who liveth and
reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one
God world without end. Collects addressed to the Son
conclude, Who livest and reignest with the Father in
the unity, etc. If in the Collect the Son has been
named, through the same, etc. If the mention of the
Son occurs at the end, Who liveth and reigneth with
Thee, etc. If the Holy Ghost has been named, In the
unity of the same Holy Ghost, etc.

When a number of Collects are said in the Litany,
the first and last shall have their full ending, and the
intermediate ones have no set ending. Let us pray is
said before the first two only. However, when Collects
are said as Memorials, the intermediate ones end Through
Jesus Christ our Lord.

OF MEMORIALS. — No Memorials should be made at
any service except Mattins and Evensong. When
several Memorials are said, the following is the order
of precedence : (1) Memorial of any Feast day ; (2) of
a Sunday; (3) of a day within Octaves; (4) of the
Feria, in Advent or Lent ; (5) season Memorials, as of
the Resurrection in Eastertide.

Collects and Memorials together at any one service
must not exceed seven in number, and at Mass the
number should always be uneven, except within the
Octaves of Christmas.

OP COMMEMORATIONS. — In every church in England
it has been usual in times past to celebrate on Satur
days the Commemoration of the Blessed Virgin ; or if

OF QUIRE SERVICE.

Saturday be not vacant, on any other vacant Feria of
the same week. Also where the church was not dedi
cated to our Lady, the Commemoration of the Feast of
the place was made once every week on some vacant
Feria, if practicable, and except as after mentioned.
The commemorative service at the Lesser Hours was
the same as on the Feast itself. There was never
second Evensong of the Commemoration.

Such Commemorations were omitted during the third
week in Advent, from Christmas Eve to the Octave of
the Epiphany, from Ash Wednesday to Low Sunday,
from the fifth Sunday after Easter to the Octave of the
Ascension, during Whitsuntide, on Feasts and Octaves
with Eulers, on Eves and Ember Days.

OP OCTAVES. — It was usual in times past to speak
of a Feast having " Octaves," not " an Octave." " An
Octave " denotes merely one of the seven days next
succeeding particular Feasts of importance, whose cele
bration was prolonged during eight days.

According to the Sarum Use the following Feasts
were kept with Octaves and Kulers of the Choir
throughout :

All Principal Doubles ; also the Feasts of Corpus
Christi, Visitation, Holy Name, St. Stephen, St. John
the Evangelist, Holy Innocents, St. Thomas of Canter
bury, and the Nativity of B.V.M. The Dedication of
a church ranks as a Principal Double: but if it fall
between Septuagesima and Easter, it should have
Rulers on the Octave day only.

Sarum Feasts with Octaves, but without Rulers
through the Octaves, are as follows :

Nativity of St. John Baptist, St. Peter and St. Paul,

OF QUIRE SERVICE.

St. Laurence, St. Andrew, St. Martin. The Feasts of
St. Peter and St. Andrew had Eulers on the Octave
day.

On the Sunday within Octaves with Eulers the
whole service is of the Octaves, i.e. the same as on
the Festival, except certain modifications at Lauds and
Evensong ; Memorial of the Sunday is made.

On the Sunday within Octaves without Eulers the
Service is all of the Sunday, or of any Feast falling on
that day and taking precedence of the Sunday, together
with a Memorial of the Octaves. If the Sunday be
superseded by a Feast, then a Memorial of the Sunday
shall be made before that of the Octaves.

On weekdays within Octaves all is said as on the
Feast, except that at Prime the Antiphon over the
Athanasian Creed and the Chapter change as is noted
in the Psalter ; and at Lauds and Evensong there are
certain modifications.

On the Octave day all is done as on the Feast at the
little Hours.

N.B. — Mattins and Evensong, according to the
modern Anglican use, should be said throughout
Octaves as on the Feast, with a Memorial of the Sun
day on the Sunday within the Octaves. If the Octaves
have no Eulers, then the Sunday service should be said
throughout with Memorial of the Octaves. More de
tailed directions will be found in the Eubrics.

N.B. — "Procession before the Cross" was the ordinary
Procession at Evensong on all Saturdays from Easter
to Advent. It went down the Quire into the Nave,
singing the Antiphon of the day ; made a station be
fore the Eood, where the V. R. and Collect were said ;

OF QUIRE SERVICE.

and then immediately returned into the Quire, singing
the Antiphon of St. Mary.

" Solemn " Memorials are those which are said aloud.

The Capitular Office after Prime was said in all
Cathedral and Collegiate bodies.

The prayer, " May the souls of his faithful," etc.,
with which the offices of the Eoman Breviary conclude,
is not found anywhere in the Sarum.

When a Feast or Sunday has a first Evensong, then
Compline on the Eve or Saturday is always of the follow
ing day, unless there be a special Compline appointed.

FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT.

No memorials are made on this day,
except of holy Mary ; and if the Feast
of St. Andrew have been celebrated on \
th>s Saturday, a memorial is then
made of it before that of holy Mary.

Compline,

All as in Com.pl. i.
This Compline is said throughout
Advent; on Double Feasts the Hymn
only is changed, and Saviour who
didst is said.

&t Jftlattins. Te Deum is not said
during Advent, whatever be the service.
Neither is it said on Eves throughout
the year, except on the Eve of Epi
phany when it falls on a Sunday • nor
•is it s<rid in Embertides, except the
Whitsun Embertide.

And here it is to be noted that never
in the Church ofSarum does the priest
who executes the office begin the Lord's
Prayer or the Creed aloud at any
service, save only at Mass, when they
are said or sung aloud throughout.

In -4dwnt, when a Feast of nine
Lessons falls upon a Saturday, it is
celebrated on that day, and Second
Kvensong is of the Sunday with a
solemn memorial of the Feast, unless
it be a Double Feast ; for then Even
song is of the Feast with a solemn
Memorial of the Sunday following ;
yet on the Saturday before Advent
Evensong is alirai/s of the Sunday,
whatever be the Feast.

If a Feast of nine Lessons fall on a
Sunday in Advent, it is always trans

ferred to the morrow, even though it be
a Double Feast. And when a Feast is
so transferred, or if it fall naturally
on the Monday, then on the Sunday
Evensong shall be of the Feast, with a
solemn memorial of the Sunday pre
ceding that of blessed Mary.

And it must be noted that on a?l
Feasts in .Advent, always is made a
solemn memorial of Advent and of
holii Mary. Feasts of three Lessons
in Advent are not observed even with
a memorial, according to the Use of
Samm, except the Octave of St.
Andrew.

4nd here it should be noted, that if
the Feast of St. Andrew fall on Advent
Sunday, it is always transferred to

Full Service of the Dedication is con-
tinned for eight days with rulers of
the Choir, including Sunday, unless a
Feast of nine Lessons, or of Three
Lessons with rulers, intervene.

If this Feast fall in Advent or Sep-
tuagesima, the Octaves have no rulers,
and if a Feast of Three Lessons or an
Octave day of a Saint fall within these
Octaves, the whole service is of the
Feast or Octave day, with memorial
only of the Dedication. Also on the
Sunday within the Octaves or on the
Octave day, the whole service shall be
of the Sunday with memorial only of
the Dedication.

If it fall between the Circumcision
and the Octave of Epiphany, or be
tween Ash Wednesday and Wednes
day in Holy Week, or between the Eve
of the Ascension and the Eve of Whit-
sun, only a memorial of the Dedica
tion is made within the Octaves and
even on the Octave day. But if it fall
within the Octaves of Epiphany, t/ieri
the whole service of the Octave day of
the Dedication shail be performed after
the octaves of Epiphany.

If it fall between Christmas Eve and
the Circumcision, or between Wednes
day in Holy Week and Low Sunday,
or between Whitsun Eve and Trinity
Sunday, then it is always transferred,
viz. until after the Octaves of Epi
phany, or after Low Sunday, or after
the First Sunday after Trinity • and
the Octaves are observed with rulers.

If it fall on Advent Sunday, or Ash
Wednesday, or Passion Sunday, or

Palm Sunday, or Low Sunday, or
Trinity Sunday, it is always trans
ferred to the following day, if it "be not
occupied by a Feast with rulers, and
Evensong shall be of the Dedication,
and a solemn memorial of the Feast.
The same is done if it fall on Ascen
sion Day, but then there is no service
of the Dedication within the Octaves
until the Octave Day, except only a
memorial.

The above rules hold good with re
spect to the Feast of the place when it

full sertnce of holy Mary is customa
rily performed; unless some Feast of
nine Lessons intervene, or Octaves
with rulers, or a Feast without rulers
but with proper Antiphons at Lauds,
or Embertide, or Eves of Saints pre
vent it. If for such reasons the ser
vice of holy Mary be not performed on
Saturday, then it shall be done on
some Feria of the same week, when it
can have its own first Evensong if pos
sible. When full service of holy Mary
be performed on a Monday, or on the
morrow of any Feast of nine Lessons,
or of three Lessons with rulers, then
Evensong shall be of holy Mary with
solemn memorial of the Feast or of the
is un day ; unless the Sunday or jPeast
be for any reason deprived of its first
Evensong, for then Evensong shall be
of the Feast or Sunday with solemn
memorial of holy Mary. Neverthe
less within the Octaves of Epiphany,
the Ascension, and the like, second
Evensong of the Octaves is said, as is
noted above after second Evensong of
the Octave of the Epiphany. And
when a Feast of any baint or Octaves

without rulers, and full service of St.
Mary must be said on the same day,
then a memorial only of the Feast or
the Octaves is made.

Throughout Trinity-tide, if a Feast
of nine Lessons is observed on a Sat
urday or on any Feria in the week,
then neither at Evensong nor at Mat-
tins is any memorial made, unless
some Feast of three Lessons fall on the
same day. When Feasts of nine Les
sons fall within Octaves of Saints, a
memorial of the Octaves is made,
except on a double Feast ; in that case
no memorial is made of the Octaves,
unless the Octaves have rulers. But
after the Evensong of the day at Even
song of holy Mary, and after Mattins
of the day at Mattins of holy Mary,
are made memorials of the Holy
Spirit, of the Feast of the place, of
Relics, of All Saints, and of Peace.

If during Trinity-tide a double
Feast fall on a Sunday, the whole ser
vice is of the Feast, and nothing of the
Sunday, unless it happen that the
Sunday Mass has of necessity to be
sung on the Sunday itself or in the

and at Mattins are made silently
memorials of the Sunday and of the
Holy Trinity, viz. at first Evensong
and at Mattins alike privately. Never
theless the Procession to the Cross,
whether the aforesaid memorials be
made or no, is altogether omitted on
Double Feasts.

If however the Feast of the Exal
tation of the Holy Cross fall on a Sun
day, then at first Evensong is made
silenlly memorial of the Sunday and
of the Holy Trinity, and then follows
the Procession before the Cross, as on
the Feast of the Invention of the Holy
Cross, with the Sunday Mass in
Chapter, at which is made memorial
of the Trinity and of All Saints only.
At second Evensong is made silently
a memorial of the Sunday, with a
solemn memorial of the Octaves. But
if the Feast of the Exaltation fall on
Monday, a memorial of the Sunday is
made silently atthe service, and after
wards Procession before the Cross.

On the Feast of St. Augustine, Doc
tor, a solemn memorial of St. John
Baptist is made at second Evensong.
Jfthe Feast of St. Augustine fall on
a Saturday, then at second Evensong
is made a memorial of the Sunday and
of the Trinity privately, with solemn
memorial of St. John Baptist. The
same is done ivhen the Feast of St.
Augustine falls on a Sunday.

And always throughout this season,
when a memorial of Sunday is made
at Evensong on Saturday, or at Mat-
tins on Sunday, shall be said the
Memorial of the Trinity.

At second Evensong of the Feasts
of the Purification and Nativity of
blessed Mary, and of Low Sunday,
and of Trinity Sunday, Corpus Christi,
and the Dedication of the church,
no memorial is made of any Feast
without rulers falling on the 'morrow,
unless a Feast of nine Lessons be con
joined with it; in that case memorials
of both Feasts are made silently. So
onthe Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul
no memorial is 'made of the Octaves of
St. John Kaptist, unless the Octaves
have rulers; nor is it customary to
make a memorial of the Holy Trinity
on the Feast of Corpus Christi, unless

the Octaves of the Holy Trinity have
rulers, for ihen solemn memorial is
made of the Octaves, although the
Feast of the place be on that day ; nor
on the Nativity of St. John Baptist is
made memorial of the Octaves of Cor
pus Christi, unless the Octaves have
rulers.

Memorials of double Feasts, and of
Octaves with rulers, and of Comme
moration of blessed Mary, arid of the
Feast of the place, shall be made
solemnly even on double Feasts.

Wibm any simple Feast of Nine
Lessons is celebrated on Sunday, and
there fall on the same day a Feast
of three Lessons or Octaves without
rulers, then first of all is made a me
morial of the Feast or of the Octaves
at First Evensong and at Mattins,
and afterwards of the Sunday and of
the Holy Trinity, and the Procession
before the Cross is observed, except in
that week the Sunday Mass be omit
ted ; and except on double Feasts, for
then there is no Procession on Satur
day except on the Feast of the Exal
tation of the Holy Cross. If some
double Feast fall on Saturday, me
morials of the Sunday and the Trinity
are made silently, and there is no
Procession before the Cross.

But if a simple Feast of nine Les
sons be celebrated on Saturday, then
at first Evensong of Sunday, first of
all is made memorial of the Feast of
nine Lessons, then of any Feast of
three Lessons that may fall on the
morrow, then of any Octave without
rulers, then of the Holy Trinity.

If a simple Feast of nine Lessons be
celebrated on a Monday, and on the
same day another Feast of three Les
sons or an Octave, then at Evensong
on Sunday first of all is made memorial
of the Feast of three Lessons, then of
any Octave without rulers, and after
wards of the Sunday only. This is
observed on all Sundays in this season
except upon the occurrence of double
Feasts, when a memorial of the Sun
day is made at both Evensongs and at
Mattins; then is said the memorial of
the Holy Trinity at first Evensong and
at Mattins, and there is Procession

GREAT RUBRIC CONCERNING SUNDAYS AND FEASTS. 57

before the Cross at first Evensong, ex
cept when double Feasts fall on Satur
days or Sundays; for then there is no
Procession before the Gross, and the
Sunday Mass is said on any vacant
Feria of that week. But if it happen
that no notice be taken of the Sunday
Mass through the week, and the sea
son be prolix, i.e. if it be not said in
Chapter on Sunday owing to double
Feasts, nor on any Feria because of
Feasts of nine or three Lessons or
Octaves of Saints with rulers, and the
seasonbe prolix, then on the preceding
Sunday the aforesaid memorials, viz.
of the Sunday and of the Trinity, and
the Procession before the Cross at first
Evensong, are omitted. But if the
season be short, then on Sunday is said
the Sunday Mass in Chapter, or {lur
ing the week on any Feria when Oc
taves with rulers are observed, and a
memorial shall be made at Evensong
and MattAns, of the Sunday and of the
Holy Trinity, with Procession before
the Cross. Yet if any simple Feast of
nine Lessons, or Octaves with rulers,
fall on a Sunday, and during the fol
lowing week there be no vacant day,
and the season be short, then on Sun
day is said the Sunday Mass in Chap
ter, and memorial is made of the
Sunday and of the Trinity at Even
song and at Mattins, with Procession
before the Cross. Similarly is done
on the Exaltation of the Holy Cross
whenever it falls on Sunday, although
it is a double Feast. If a double Feast
during this season fall on Saturday,
then there shall be no Procession be
fore the Cross at second Evensong,
which shall be of the Ftast, nor is any
memorial made audibly of the Sunday
or of the Trinity, but in silence, except
on the Exaltation of the Holy Cross ;
for then is made solemn memorial of
the Octaves of the Nativity of blessed
Mary; and the memorials of the
Sunday and of the Trinity are said
silently, and there is no Procession
before the Cross.

?Kbcn a simple Feast of nine Les
sons within this season be celebrated
on a Saturday, and on the preceding
Friday the first Evensong of such

Feast cannot be said owing to some
Feast of nine Lessons, then Evensong
of Saturday is of the Feast with me
morial of Sunday and of the Trinity,
ind a Procession. However there
shall be other Evensong of the Sunday
with a memorial of the Feast.

|jis sTiould be generally observed
throughout the year, that all Feasts of
nine Lessons, or of three Lessons with
rulers, and all Sundays should have
one Evensong at least; unless some
double Feast prevent it, as in the case
of the Sixth Day after the Nativity
of our Lord, or when the Eve of Epi
phany falls on a Sunday, or if the
Feast of SS. Philip and James fall
on a Saturday, then on the Saturday
shall be Evensong of the Apostles, and
on the Sunday Evensong of the Inven
tion of the Holy Cross, and then the
Sunday has no Evensong. Similarly
hen the Octave of the Assumption of
blessed Mary falls on Saturday, then
on the Saturday following shall be
Evensong of the Octave, and on the
Sunday Evensong of St. Bartholomew ;
ajid similarly in like cases.

Wfytn a double Feast falls on Satur
day, and a simple Feast of nine Les
sons on the Monday, and another
double Feast on the Tuesday, then on
Sunday Evensong shall be of the Feast
of nine Lessons, and so the Sunday
shall be deprived of both Evensongs.
And a simple Feast of nine Lessons,
falling between two double Feasts, loses
both its Evensongs. On all double
Feasts throughout the year there shall
be first and second Evensong of the
Feast, unless another double Feast
prevent it, as in the week of the
Nativity of our Lord, and the like.
The Feast of St. Andrew, when it falls
on Saturday is an exception ; as also
are double Feasts falling on the Satur
days before Passion Sunday and Palm,
Sunday, and on Wednesday in Holy
Week, which have only first Evensong,
although it be the Feast of the placebr
of the Dedication of the church. Jf
the Feast of the place fall on Trinity
Sunday, it is transferred to the mor
row, if it be not occupied with a Feast
of nine Lessons, and Evensong shall

58 GREAT RUBRIC CONCERNING SUNDAYS AND FEASTS

be of the Feast of the place, with
solemn memorial of the Holy Trinity,
and similarly is done in like cases, as
is noted in the case of the Dedica
tion of the Church.

$nir it should be noted that on Oc
taves with rulers, such as the Octaves
of the Epiphany, the Ascension, Cor
pus Christi when its Octaves have
rulers, the Visitation, Assumption,
and Nativity of blessed Mary, there
shall always be second Evensong of
the Octaves, and only a memorial of
a Feast or of a Sunday following on
the morrow ; except when a double
Feast fall on the morrow or on the
Octaves, or a Feast of nine Lessons,
which cannothave a second Evensong.
Similarly is done in the case of the
Octaves of the Dedication of the
church when they have rulers. And

when Commemoraiionof blessed Mary
or of the Feast of the place, is cele
brated on the morrow of any Feast of
nine Lessons, or of three Lessons with
rulers, of which no first Evensong was
said, then only a solemn memorial is
made of the Commemoration. When
Commemoration of blessed Mary or of
the Feast of the place is celebrated on
a Monday, thenis said Evensong of the
Commemoration and a memorial of the
Sunday ; except when First Evensong
of the Sunday was not said, for then
there is only a memorial of the Com
memoration. If the Feast of St. Mary
Magdalene, or of St. Margaret, or of
St. Laurence, or of St. Martin the
Bishop, or of St. Catherine fall on a
Sunday, the customary memorials
having been said, first of all a Pro
cession is made to the Altar of the
Saints, and then to the Crosa.

Seek we of God, with humble

fear,

Grace to direct our steps to-day
To walk more nearly as we pray.

Upon our lips set Thou Thy

Lest peace by angry tongues be

marred ;

From evil sights defend our eyes,
And shield our life from vanities.

Now pure be all our hearts within,
And uftdefiled by touch of sin,
And pride of flesh, 0 Christ,

subdued
Through frugal use of daily food.

So may we, when the daylight

dies,
And shades of night steal through

the skies,
Pure from the world's pollution,

raise
To Thee our evening hymns of

praise.

To God Almighty praise be done ;
Praise to the Father's only Son ;
Praise now and ever, as is meet,
To God the Holy Paraclete.

Eastertide, Alleluia.

"YTTHOSOEVEE will be

VV saved: before all

things it is necessary that

he hold the Catholick Faith.

Which Faith except every

one do keep whole and un-
defiled : without doubt he
shall perish everlastingly.

And the Catholick Faith
is this : That we worship
one God in Trinity, and
Trinity in Unity ;

Neither confounding the
Persons : nor dividing the
Substance.

For there is one Person
of the Father, another of
the Son : and another of the
Holy Ghost.

But the Godhead of the
Father, of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost, is all one :
the Glory equal, the Majesty
co-eternal.

Such as the Father is,
such is the Son : and such
is the Holy Ghost.

The Father uncreate, the
Son uncreate : and the Holy
Ghost uncreate.

The Father incomprehen-
hensible, the Son incompre
hensible : and the Holy
Ghost incomprehensible.

The Father eternal, the
Son eternal : and the Holy
Ghost eternal.

And yet they are not
three eternals : but one
eternal.

As also there are not
three incomprehensibles, nor
three uncreated : but one
uncreated, and one incom
prehensible.

AT PKIME.

So likewise the Father
is Almighty, the Son Al
mighty : and the Holy Ghost
Almighty.

And yet they are not
three Almighties : but one
Almighty.

So the Father is God, the
Son is God : and the Holy
Ghost is God.

And yet they are not three
Gods : but one God.

So likewise the Father is
Lord, the Son Lord : and
the Holy Ghost Lord.

And yet not three Lords :
but one Lord.

For like as we are com
pelled by the Christian
verity: to acknowledge every
Person by Himself to be God
and Lord ;

So are we forbidden by
the Catholick Religion : to
say, There be three Gods, or
three Lords.

The Father is made of
none: neither created, nor
begotten.

The Son is of the Father
alone : not made, nor created,
but begotten.

The Holy Ghost is of the
Father and of the Son : nei
ther made, nor created, nor
begotten, but proceeding.

So there is one Father, not
three Fathers ; one Son, not
three Sons : one Holy Ghost,
not three Holy Ghosts.

And in this Trinity none
is afore, or after other : none
is greater, or less than an
other ;

But the whole three Per
sons are co-eternal together :
and co-equal.

So that in all things, as
is aforesaid : the Unity in
Trinity, and the Trinity in
Unity is to be worshipped.

He therefore that will be
saved : must thus think of
the Trinity.

Furthermore, it is neces
sary to everlasting salva
tion : that he also believe
rightly the Incarnation of
our Lord Jesus Christ.

For the right Faith is,
that we believe and con
fess : that our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, is
God and Man ;

God, of the Substance of
the Father, begotten before
the worlds : and Man, of the
Substance of His Mother,
born in the world ;

Perfect God, and perfect
Man: of a reasonable soul
and. human flesh subsisting ;

Equal to the Father, as
touching His Godhead : and
inferior to the Father, as
touching His Manhood.

Who although He be God
and Man : yet He is not two,
but one Christ ;

One; not by conversion

THE PSALTER.

of the Godhead into flesh
but by taking of the Man
hood into God ;

One altogether ; not by
confusion of Substance : but
by unity of Person.

For as the reasonable
soul and flesh is one man : so
God and Man is one Christ ;

Who suffered for our sal
vation : descended into hell,
rose again the third day
from the dead.

He ascended into heaven,
He sitteth on the right hand
of the Father, God Almighty:
from whence He shall come
to judge the quick and the
dead.

At Whose coming all men
shall rise again with their
bodies: and shall give ac
count for their own works.

And they that have done
good shall go into life ever
lasting : and they that have
done evil into everlasting
fire.

This is the Catholick
Faith : which except a man
believe faithfully, he cannot
be saved.

Glory be to the Father.

Repeat ihe whole Aniiphon.

4 For Thy hand is heavy upon

5 I will acknowledge my sin
unto Thee : and mine unright
eousness have I not hid.

6 I said, I will confess my sins
unto the Lord : and so Thou for-

7 For this shall every one that
is godly make his prayer unto
Thee, in a time when Thou may-
est be found : but in the great
water-floods they shall not come
nigh him.

8 Thou art a place to hide me
in, Thou shalt preserve me from
trouble : Thou shalt compass me
about with songs of deliverance.

9 I will inform thee, and teach
thee in the way wherein them
shalt go : and I will guide thee
with mine eye.

10 Be ye not like to horse and
mule, which have no understand

11 Great plagues remain for

Psalm cii.

HEAR my prayer, O Lord :
and let my crying come
unto Thee.

2 Hide not Thy face from me
in the time of my trouble : in
cline Thine ear unto me when I
call; 0 hear me, and that right
soon.

3 For my days are consumed
away like smoke : and my bones
are burnt up as it were a fire
brand.

4 My heart is smitten down,
and withered like grass : so that
I forget to eat my bread.

5 For the voice of my groan
ing : my bones will scarce cleave
to my flesh.

6 I am become like a pelican
in the wilderness : and like an
owl that is in the desert.

7 I have watched, and am even
as it were a sparrow : that sitteth
alone upon the house-top.

8 Mine enemies revile me all
the day long : and they that are
mad upon me are sworn together
against me.

9 For I have eaten ashes as it
were bread : and mingled my
drink with weeping ;

10 And that because of Thine
indignation and wrath : for Thou

hast taken me up, and cast me
down.

11 My days are gone like a
shadow : and I am withered like
grass.

12 But, Thou, 0 Lord, shalt
endure for ever : and Thy re
membrance throughout all gene
rations.

13 Thou shalt arise, and have
mercy upon Sion : for it is time
that Thou have mercy upon her,
yea, the time is come.

14 And why? Thy servants
think upon her stones : and it
pitieth them to see her in the
dust.

15 The heathen shall fear Thy
Name, O Lord : and all the kings
of the earth Thy Majesty ;

16 When the Lord shall build
up Sion : and when His glory
shall appear ;

17 When He turneth Him unto
the prayer of the poor destitute :
and despiseth not their desire.

18 This shall be written for
those that come after : and the
people which shall be born shall
praise the Lord.

19 For He hath looked down
from His sanctuary : out of the
heaven did the Lord behold the
earth ;

20 That He might hear the
mournings of such as are in cap
tivity : and deliver the children

ippointed unto death ;

That they may declare the
Name of the Lord in Sion : and
His worship at Jerusalem ;

22 When the people are
gathered together: and the king
doms also, to serve the Lord.

23 He brought down my
strength in my journey: and
shortened my days.

HEAR my prayer, 0 Lord,
and consider my desire :
hearken unto me for Thy truth
and righteousness' sake.

2 And enter not into judgment
with Thy servant : for in Thy
sight shall no man living be
justified.

3 For the enemy hath per
secuted my soul ; he hath smitten
my life down to the ground : he
hath laid me in the darkness, as
the men that have been long
dead.

4 Therefore is my spirit vexed
within me : and my heart within
me is desolate.

5 Yet do I remember the time
past ; I muse upon all Thy works :
yea, I exercise myself in the
works of Thy hands.

6 I stretch forth my hands
unto Thee : my soul gaspeth
unto Thee as a thirsty land.

7 Hear me, O Lord, and that
soon, for my spirit waxeth faint :
hide not Thy face from me, lest
I be like unto them that go down
into the pit.

8 O let me hear Thy loving-
kindness betimes in the morning,
for in Thee is my trust : show
Thou me the way that I should
walk in, for I lift up my soul
unto Thee.

9 Deliver me, 0 Lord, from
mine enemies : for 1 flee unto
Thee to hide me.

10 Teach me to do the thing
that pleaseth Thee, for Thou art
my God : let Thy loving Spirit

them that vex my soul ; for I am
Thy servant.

ST. ANDREW, APOSTLE.

If this Feast fall within Advent,
then at Jfirst €fafnsong is made a
solemn memorial of Advent and after

Whenever the Feast falls, within
Advent or not, there is always a Pro
cession at First Evensong, after the
memorials, to the altar of St. Andrew,
if there be one, with candle-bearers
and thurifers, and the boy bearing
the book before the Priest, without
Cross, the Choir- following . While the
Cantors sing the verse the Priest censes
the altar. He then fays the Collect,
without The Lord be with you, but
with Let us pray. Returning, the
anthem of St. Mary is sung; but, if it
be within Advent, the anthem of All
Saints, with the Collect.

And so let the Procession be per
formed on all Feasts of Saints at First
Evensong throughout the year,if1here
be altars dedicated to them in the
church : and if a Collect of the Eve is
said at Evensong, then at the Proces
sion is said the Collect of the Feast.
But when the Collect of the Feast
is said at Evensong, then at the Pro
cession is said the Collect of the
Common, unless the Procession have
a proper Collect, as on the Feast of
St. Nicholas, St. Katherine, etc. ;
and always in returning is said the
anthem of St. Mary except a memorial
of her have been said at Evensong al
ready ; for then in returning is said
the anthem of All Saints.

Nor should their service be cele
brated at their altars, as Evensong,
Mattins, or the other Hours, accord
ing to the use of Sarum, except only
the Mass of the Saint in the morning.
